Requirements for approved training and equipment

It is important to be aware of the applicable requirements when you use, handle, sell or distribute plant protection products. This applies to work in agriculture, forestry, horticulture, and park and golf course maintenance. The requirements also apply in organic farming.

Three classes of plant protection products

There are three classes of plant protection products: Class 1L, 2L and 3. Plant protection products used in organic farming are in class 2L or 3. The classes indicate who is allowed to use the product. Only persons aged 18 or older are allowed to use plant protection products professionally.

  • Plant protection products in class 1 L and 2 L may only be used professionally
  • You must have special approval and training to use plant protection products in class 1L and 2L.
  • Plant protection products in class 3 may also be used by anyone, including private individuals.

Basic training and approvals

To obtain approval to use plant protection products professionally, you must

  1. have taken a basic course in use of plant protection products
  2. apply for approval to use plant protection products
  3. renew your approval every fifth year by undergoing further training.

You may choose a course in one or several areas of plant protection. All courses conclude with an examination which you must pass in order to obtain a certificate.

The courses to use plant protection products outdoors and in and around greenhouses are arranged by the county administrative boards. The Swedish Board of Agriculture is responsible for the training courses on use of plant protection products for seed treatment, treatment of stumps against root rot and treatment of plants in forest plantations. After completing the course, you can apply to the agency arranging the course for approval to use plant protection provided that you are at least 18 years old. Further information is available under the heading Applications for approval to use plant protection products.

If you use plant protection products both out of doors and in and around greenhouses

If you are going to use plant protection products outdoors and in and around greenhouses, you only need to have undergone one of the basic training courses. But you will have to supplement it with a specialisation day and an expanded examination.

If you use plant protection protections for treatment of stumps against root rot

If you already have approval for outdoor use, you do not need to undergo training for treatment of stumps against root rot. The training you have is sufficient to be permitted to treat stumps. If you do not have approval for outdoor use, you need to undergo an e-training course on root rot and to obtain approval for the specific use. You can register for the course via the course catalogue.

If you are a distributor, salesperson or inspector of Pesticide application equipment (PAE)

If you a distributor or salesperson of plant protection products or if you are inspecting sprayers, you must be authorised to use plant protection products outdoors or in and around greenhouses. You can obtain authorisation by undergoing four-day basic training arranged by the county administrative boards.

If your qualifications are from another EU Member State

In Sweden, use of class 1 and 2 plant protection products is a regulated occupation. This means that Swedish law governs the requirements for your being permitted to work with plant protection products. If you have training or experience from your home country of using plant protection products, you may also do this work in Sweden. Different requirements are made on you depending on whether you are intending to become established in Sweden or work here temporarily.

Temporary professional practice in Sweden

In order to be allowed to use plant protection products in Sweden, it is required that you are established in another country in the European Economic Area (EEA) or in Switzerland where the profession is also regulated.

If the profession is not regulated in your home country, you are instead required to have used plant protection products for at least a year in one or more other EEA countries or in Switzerland during the past ten years.

If you comply with the above requirements and you only intend to work here for short periods, you do not need approval from the Swedish Board of Agriculture. This means that you do not need to submit an application.

In the case of temporary practice, you must use the same professional title in Sweden that you use in your home country. The title must be written in your own language.

Establishment in Sweden

If you are planning to move here to work for a longer period, it is considered that you are establishing a business in Sweden. To become established as a user of plant protection products, in Sweden, it is required that your professional qualifications are recognised. The Swedish Board of Agriculture is responsible for approving this and for authorising use of plant protection products.

Inspection of pesticide application equipment by inspectors from other EES Countries

Directive 2009/128/EC on sustainable use of pesticides requires that pesticide application equipment in use must be approved.

In Sweden, it is the Swedish Board of Agriculture that approves pesticide application equipment. The test is carried out by an authorized inspector and the test report has to be submitted together with the application when the owner of the spraying equipment applies for approval.

To become an authorized inspector in Sweden you need to be certified for use of plant protection products in Sweden.

If you are legally established and hold a certificate from another EEA country or Switzerland to use plant protection products, your qualifications can be recognized here.

If you wish to inspect pesticide application equipment in Sweden you need to notify the Swedish Board of Agriculture first.

When you have had your qualifications approved and the notification has been acknowledged by the Swedish Board of Agriculture you are registered as an inspector. You will gain access to Swedish testing protocols and stickers.

Inspectors can give their consent to have their contact details listed on the website of the Board of Agriculture together with other details such as if they are specialized on a specific sprayer brand. The list of inspectors can be found further down on this page.

Inspections are required to be performed according to SS-EN ISO 16122:2015 agricultural and forestry machinery – Control of equipment in operation or an equivalent method. For the time being it is also allowed to use the earlier standard EN 13790 as an equivalent method for inspection.

Requirements on the documentation of an inspection

Inspectors of pesticide application equipment in use is required to document the result of the inspection in a test protocol. Protocols shall, unless the inspector and spray owner agree otherwise, be delivered in an electronic format to the owner of the sprayer.

The test protocol has to include the following information:

  1. The type of equipment.
  2. The manufacturer of the equipment, serial number and year of manufacture or a note if this information it is not possible to identify.
  3. The method used to assess the distribution equipment, for example by reference to a certain standard.
  4. The elements listed in annex II of the sustainable use directive and, for each part of the application equipment, indication of whether the requirements are met, not met or not applicable. Reasons for stating that an element is not applicable can be that the type of application equipment lacks that specific part and if the requirements laid down in annex II, first and second subparagraphs are still fulfilled.
  5. The result of the test summary stating if the equipment has passed the test (no errors) or not (disqualifying errors).
  6. The number of the sticker that has been attached to the application equipment.
  7. The name, postal address and telephone number of the owner of the sprayer and the inspector.
  8. Date of the inspection.
  9. The inspector's signature.

If you inspect sprayers in Sweden, use Swedish stickers. The sticker shall be placed on the sprayer by the inspector when the inspection is completed. Do not place the sticker on top of another sticker less than 6 years old. The number on the inspection sticker shall correspond to the number on the protocol.

Sprayers inspected in other EES countries or Turkey

A sprayer that is inspected and approved in another EES-Country or Turkey may be accepted in Sweden. The conditions are that the inspection has been carried out by an authorized inspector and in accordance with the harmonized standards or a method corresponding to these. The owner of the sprayer can then apply for an approval by appending the protocol to his or her application of approval.

Application for approval to use plant protection products

You will receive a certificate when you have successfully completed a course. You can then apply for approval to use plant protection products. You do this by completing and submitting the application to the County administrative board where you took the course. In the case of plants in forest plantations, the application is to be sent to the Swedish Forest Agency. In the case of an e-training course, application will be made automatically when you have passed the examination.

Undertake further training every fifth year

You must undergo further training every fifth year to retain your authorisation for an additional five years.

Exemption if you are unable to undergo further training

If you are unable to undergo further training arranged by your county administrative board when your approval of use is about to expire, you should in the first place undertake training at another location.

If you are unable to participate in the training course arranged this year, for example, because of illness, you may apply to us for a derogation. A prerequisite for being able to apply is that you have previously undergone a basic training course and that there are special reasons preventing your attendance. In your application for a derogation, you must state your name and address and contact details and state the special reasons you have for not being able to participate in the course of further training

The derogation applies for at most a year. The application for derogation should be sent to us, preferably by email.

Basic substances (for example, vinegar)

There are “basic substances” that are approved to combat various plant pests. These are chemicals that contain substances that do not have characteristics that are hazardous for the user or the environment. When you use these chemicals, you do not need to have undergone any training for authorisation or have any approval.

The effect of basic substances does not need to be evaluated and their effect is accordingly not as well surveyed.

Only certain basic substances are approved for ecological production.

Application of Integrated Pest Management

All those using plant protection products must apply Integrated Pest Management (IPM). This applies throughout the EU in order to obtain sustainable use of plant protection products.

Integrated Pest Management means choosing the simplest of all available methods to reduce the risk of plant protection problems and keep use of plant protection products at levels that are economically and ecologically defensible.

You can find more information about Integrated Pest Management, suitable plant protection methods and approved plant protection products on the page about plant protection measures

If you spray on behalf of another person, you share responsibility for complying with the principles of Integrated Pest Management. In other words, one of you must be responsible for preventing problems with plant pests, weeds and crop lodging, monitoring the risk of damage, adapting use of plant protection products to the need, and following up the measures.

The person spraying may perform some of the work with Integrated Pest Management, for example, adapting the measures to needs. In this case, it is good for you to have an agreement about who does what. In the event of an inspection, the farmer must be able to give an account of who made the decision on the plant protection measures.

Your responsibility

As someone who will handle or use plant protection products, you are responsible for having the right training and permits. You must be aware of and comply with the applicable rules. If you spray plant protection products, you must also ensure that the equipment that you use has been inspected by an inspector of pesticide application equipment and approved by the Swedish Board of Agriculture.

Storing plant protection products

To preserve the environment and minimize the risk for human health, plant protection products must be stored

  • In a place that is difficult for unauthorised persons and children to obtain access to the substances (the storage space should be locked)
  • In a frost-free and well-ventilated space
  • Kept separate from exposure and flammable goods
  • Separate from foodstuffs and feed
  • In its original packaging, separate from other products
  • impounded, so that spillage and leakage are taken care of. The impounded area must have space for at least a third of the maximum acquired volume of plant protection product or the whole volume of the largest individual package.

Keep a written record of your use of plant protection products

You must keep a written record of your use of plant protection products, for example in a spraying log. Regardless of whether you fill in a spraying log manually or use our app, it is an important tool in plant protection work not only because documentation is required, but also to be able to monitor the effects of what you are doing and to remember why you chose to act in a particular way.

Säkert växtskydd’s [Safe Plant Protection] spraying log provides a good basis for documentation work that includes the mandatory information.

In Integrated Pest Management it is also very useful to note as much as possible, including information that is not mandatory. These notes may concern the current weather, plant protection method, the development of the crop, pests and weeds etc.

Keep a continuous record

The spraying log must be kept up to date. There is then a greater chance of the dossier being correct and useful. Both the person performing the work and the employer must be able to show the dossier at an inspection. If you have information available, there is less risk of you having to pay an environmental penalty fee. The dossier is also important for traceability of usage in the event of a dispute.

The spraying log as an app

You can fill in and save your spraying log records In the Spraying log app. When you use the app, the spraying log will be correctly and completely filled in. It will automatically fill in certain information and check that the substance selected is approved for the crop in question. Furthermore, the conditions of use of the different substances are available in the app. If you wish to forward the spraying log, this can be simply done by email. You can download the app from the Apple Store or in Google Play.

Keep a safe distance when you use plant protection products

When you use plant protection products, you must keep a safe distance from water sources, groundwater, lakes and watercourses and the surrounding land to protect them from pollution by plant protection products.

You must ensure that you keep a safe distance when you

  • spray plant protection products
  • fill up and clean the sprayer.

Safety distances when you are spreading plant protection products

There are two different kinds of safety distances that you must take into consideration when you are spreading plant protection products: fixed safety distances and adjusted safety distances.

Fixed safety distances

Fixed safety distances are to prevent plant protection products from spreading due to water movements in the ground and on the ground surface.

When spreading plant protection products, you must apply at least the following safety distances:

  • 2 metres to open dikes, rainwater wells and drainage wells
  • 6 metres to lakes and watercourses (such as streams, large and small rivers, canals, temporary ponds, wetlands, marshes, small lakes, damp land surfaces – wet areas, temporary wetlands, cold sources, marl pits and dikes)
  • 12 metres to drinking water wells.
Adjusted safety distances

In addition to the fixed safety distances, those spraying plant protection products must also determine and comply with adjusted safety distances to water sources, lakes, watercourses and surrounding land. You adjust the safety distances in accordance with the circumstances at the location when you are spreading plant protection products.

You must particularly take into consideration

  1. temperature, wind conditions and other weather factors at the location
  2. the intended extension of the spraying area in the direction of the wind
  3. the characteristics of the plant protection product
  4. the sensitivity of the surroundings to the product
  5. the exactness the spraying method used.

You can take into consideration the parameters listed in point 1-5 by using

  • Guide for adjusted safety distance when using agricultural sprayers with booms
  • Guide for adjusted safety distances in orchards
  • Guide as app. You can download it from App Store or Google Play.

Safety distance when you fill up and clean the sprayer

When you fill up and clean the sprayer, you must observe at least the following safety distances:

  • 30 metres to open ditches and to rainwater and drainage wells
  • 30 metres to lakes and watercourses
  • 30 metres to drinking water wells.

A shorter safety distance applies if you fill up and clean the sprayer on a surface where it is possible to collect the plant protection product, for example, a plate with a collection device. The shorter distances also apply if you use a biobed to break down the plant protection product. In these cases, you must leave at least

  • 15 metres to open ditches and to rainwater and drainage wells
  • 15 metres to lakes and watercourses
  • 15 metres to drinking water wells.

However, you must maintain 30 metres safety distance if you fill up and clean the sprayer in the field, i.e., on arable land or another grassed area, as this is not considered to be a safe location.

You must never fill up or clean a sprayer on permeable spaces, for example, a gravel courtyard or a hard-made surface draining to surrounding land.

You may need approval from the municipality

You must have approval from the municipality if you use plant protection products professionally, for example, against pests and weeds on hard surfaces or if you fill up and clean the sprayer on hard surfaces which belong to your business.

You need to apply for authorisation from the municipality in these cases

It is prohibited to use plant protection products professionally without special approval in these locations:

  • at sports and recreational facilities
  • during ground levelling and civil engineering works
  • in road areas and on gravel surfaces and other very permeable areas
  • on asphalt or concrete or other hard material.

Family members or private individuals who do not work in the business may not spray plant protection products professionally on areas pertaining to the business without permission. This also applies to class 3 products which can ordinarily be used without a permit.

Before you apply for approval, you should have worked in a preventive way to avoid problems with pests, diseases or weeds. You should also have investigated whether there is any other suitable method instead of using chemicals, for example, mechanical or thermal methods. Thermal methods are when you use heating such as steam, flammation or hot water.

Derogations in the case of point treatment

You do not need approval from the municipality if you are to carry out point treatment. The plant protection product will not then be spread beyond the plant you are treating. This means that treatment may be performed without approval on leaves, the trunk, stump or root system at a time by notching, painting, wiping or another similar method. If a fungal attack on a grass surface is involved, the area may be at most a square metre.

You do not either need special allowance from your municipality if you are going to take measures against invasive alien species on road areas or on railway embankments.

The pesticide application equipment must be approved and in good condition

All sprayers used professionally must be inspected at least every third year for our approval. However, there are certain derogations. For example, you may use a newly manufactured sprayer for at most three years without approval. The inspection is to ensure that the spraying equipment is

  • in good condition
  • fit for its purpose
  • well calibrated, i.e., that the settings on the sprayer are correct and, for example, spray the correct quantity of the product.

The inspection is a prerequisite to be able to reduce the doses and retain the effect of the plant protection measures, which is also good for the environment and your working environment.

Before the inspection, you must ensure that the equipment has been thoroughly cleaned. Take care to notify the inspector if there are special infection protection rules at your cultivation. If, for example, you cultivate tomatoes, they may need to use protective clothing.

The following is required for the sprayer to be approved

In order for us to be able to approve the sprayer, we require that

  1. the inspection is performed by an authorised inspector (you will find some of the authorised inspectors in each county under the heading Inspectors of PAE further down on this page)
  2. the sprayer complies with the requirements in the performance test.

The approval is valid for three years from the date on which the sprayer was performance tested. We also approve sprays from other countries which you are intending to use in Sweden.

You pay a fee per sprayer

If you have several sprayers, each sprayer needs to be approved separately at a cost of SEK 100 per sprayer. If you have a sprayer that is connected to several spraying ramps at, for example, a greenhouse, this is counted as one sprayer and you pay one fee.

Equipment that must be approved

If you intend to use the sprayer to spray plant protection products professionally, it shall be approved. This then also applies to the nozzles, manometers, filters, strainers, devices for tank cleaning and other accessories that are necessary for the equipment to function efficiently. The requirement for approved equipment also applies if you only use the sprayer in organic farming

Derogations from the requirement of approval

There are derogations for the following types of sprayers, which do not require approval:

  1. equipment which is designed to be borne completely by the person spraying, for example, backpack sprayers, handheld sprayers and shower bottles
  2. newly manufactured CE-marked spraying equipment from an EEA country or Turkey (the derogation applies for the first three years). Example: A sprayer purchased on 3 May 2021 may be used until 3 May 2024. You need a new approval to use it from 4 May 2024.
  3. equipment on forestry machines to treat stumps
  4. equipment to treat plants by dipping for future planting
  5. seed treatment equipment, for example, the equipment in a potato planter that treats the potato just before it is planted
  6. equipment to transfer the plant protection product directly to the surface to be treated by contact, for example, contact applicators and wipers that place the plant protection product on stumps
  7. dimming equipment, both hot and cold dimming equipment

If your sprayer is of a type with a derogation from the requirement for approval, you do not need to send an application to us for approval. However, retain the receipt or similar so that you have something to show in an inspection.

When you spray basic substances

As long as you spray basic substances, you do not need to have an approved sprayer. However, it may still be good to know that the sprayer spreads the product evenly and is working as intended.

To obtain help in assessing whether the sprayer needs to be approved

Are you uncertain whether the sprayer requires approval when you are going to use it? Contact a performance tester or us at the Swedish Board of Agriculture and we will help you with you this assessment. We make these assessments on the basis of the rules.

We consider that you do not need to test the equipment in the following cases:

  • If you use the sprayer to spread liquid manure. It is then a manure sprayer.
  • If you prevent snails with the aid of granules and you use a solid fertilizer distributor. Even if the snail prevention substance is a plant protection product, the solid fertilizer distributoris not considered to be covered by the definition of the type of equipment that requires approval.
  • If you purchase a used sprayer that has been approved by us and the decision is still valid. The decision is associated with the sprayer and not its owner. To be on the safe side, you should check that the sticker number is the same as the number in the approval.

This is included in the performance test

There are international standards for inspection of boom sprayers, fan sprayers and most sprayers in greenhouses. The inspections are based on these standards when checking the sprays. A Swedish PAE inspection has three main components:

1. Checking the performance of the spray

We check that the various parts of the spray function well, that there is no leakage and that the spray produces the expected result. The following parts are covered by the test:

  • power transmission
  • pump
  • mixing
  • meter and controls
  • pipes and cables
  • tank
  • filter
  • boom
  • nozzle and last runnings
  • distribution of liquid
  • fan on fan sprayers.

2. Repair faults

If you as owner of the sprayer so wish, the performance tests can repair any defects and adjust the sprayer in connection with the test.

3. Information and advice

The inspector can advise you about, for example, calibration of the spray and settings to provide you with the desired spreading of the plant protection product. The performance tester can also give you advice on how to check the sprayer.

Performance tested sprayers have a sticker

When your sprayer has been tested, it will receive a sticker to show that it has been inspected but not that it has been approved by us. When we subsequently approve the sprayer, it is the number on the sticker which associates the sprayer with the decision on approval. The mark is used because there are old sprayers without a serial number.

The municipality checks that the equipment has been approved

The municipalities check that the sprayers used for spraying plant production products have been approved by us. The checks are included in the environmental supervision of agricultural enterprises that the municipalities already carry out. If the municipality sees during their inspection that you have used spraying equipment that has not been approved by us, you will have to pay an environmental penalty fee.

Make sure that the equipment works well also between performance tests

When you spray plant protection products, it is important that the equipment you use is in good condition so that the plant protection product gets to the right place with the best possible effect. This reduces the risks for our external environment, at the same time as improving your working environment.

Carry out regular technical checks

You should carry out a technical check before the spray is used for the first time, during a growing season. If you use the spraying equipment throughout the time, during year (for example, in a greenhouse), you should carry out your own technical check at least once a year.

Your own technical check should be based on

  • the manufacturer’s recommendations for maintenance (the service manual)
  • national traffic safety requirements
  • the requirements that the sprayer is to comply with in an inspection.

There are no requirements for documentation of the checks that you make. However, it may be useful for you and a support for memory to document what you have done. There are check lists that you can use which are designed to be able to serve as documentation.

In preparation for every spraying occasion, you should also carry out simpler checks of the sprayer to ensure that it is working as intended.

Store equipment and plant protection products correctly

Even though the equipment has been cleaned after use, there may still remain plant protection products that can drip at the collection location, if, for example, it rains. It should therefore be stored in a secure location, where there is no risk for residues of various substances polluting the environment. The sprayer should preferably be stored indoors, but it can also be placed on a biobed or a cast plate with draining to the fertiliser well.

During the winter, you should fill the whole system with a 50 per cent glycol mixture to protect it from frost damage, if the sprayer is not stored in a frost-free location. The glycol mixture can then be reused in future winter seasons.

Authorised inspectors of PAE

Those who are on the list are the inspectors who have successfully completed the basic course, reported their business to us and approved that we publish their contact details. There may therefore be more approved inspectors in your county than those listed here. If there are inspectors who work in several counties, their name will appear at several places in the table.

All approved inspectors are authorised to test the performance of all types of PAE.

Questions and answers

I am going to use my sprayer abroad, will the Swedish approval of the performance test be valid then?

It is the national authority in the country where the sprayers are to be used that determines whether sprayers approved in other countries systems comply with the requirements. Before using a sprayer approved in Sweden in another country, you should check what applies with the authority in the country in question.
